00:00Fans have been so incredible with me during all those years, and I received a lot, so now I feel like I need to give back.
00:19It's fantastic, you know, I started this project United at Home in Miami, then I did Top of the Rock in New York City,
00:27the Louvre Museum in Paris, and that is an iconic place. It's really fantastic. The building is, you know, worldwide famous and very iconic.
00:35We really made the best out of it. When you see the show, the production is really insane. I'm very excited.
00:45That's a little bit the problem we're having at the moment, but at the same time, I feel like fans have been so incredible with me during all those years.
00:56I received a lot, so now I feel like I need to give back, and I think it's important in this moment, not only that we are collecting money to help the people in need during COVID,
01:09but also simply to entertain people that are at home and help them go through a difficult time and show that their life is not over.
01:20That's what I'm thinking of when I'm playing. I'm really thinking of people that are dancing in their home safely.
01:29To be honest, I was completely improvised at first. It was during the month of March, the first confinement. I was in Miami, and I was like, no, I want to party, I want to DJ.
01:39We organized this in five days, never meant to be such a huge project, but then we realized that we raised 1.5 million to help people in need.
01:49We gave millions of meals in Florida. We had 50 million people watching the show on social media. It's crazy, you know?
01:57I was like, okay, this is special. It's really a demand. So then, after the success of this event, we decided to make it grow, and really, this moment is going to be epic.
02:12I'm happy that I can do a little bit of a charity, something that is helping people. It's not even necessarily the time to do the concert, but it's more like the time to think about something good to do.
02:27Normally, my life is so hectic, but this time, like everybody else, I was home doing nothing and being bored, and I started to think, okay, can I use my energy?
02:37That would be interesting, actually. It's funny, because I was talking about India not a long time ago, and I was saying to my manager, because we've been going from west to east, and I'm thinking it would be amazing the next year to do it in India.
02:56Yeah?
02:57Yeah, it's funny. I just had this conversation.
03:06Yeah.
